Abstract
- The article explores trends in credit basis spread in the U.S., focusing on the widening of spreads in credit market basis trades between the cash bond and credit-default swap (CDS) markets. It examines three possible sources of the prolonged dislocation between the cash bond and CDS, including increased idiosyncratic risk, strategic positioning in CDS products, and post-crisis regulatory changes. The trade mechanics of the CDS-bond basis trade is reviewed.
